What Do You Do When Software Goes Wro...
Yup, this seems about right.
In all honesty, a quick reboot solves most problems. For anything that’s a little tougher, you can just Google it. If that fails, try using DuckDuckGo (like Google, but for technology). If you still can’t solve it, ask someone.

Mozilla, Why so Serious?
John Antoni Griffiths
Mozilla, you have given the world so much. Thunderbird is a fantastic E-mail client, and Firefox is an amazing browser.
So why are you so uptight? Firefox 4.0 is coming out in a month, but rather than be excited about a new release, all I can think is: finally!
About a year ago, the Mozilla foundation said that it would [...]

“I am very concerned with how technology is used and even more concerned with how technology is talked about in education. Many people will have us believe that more technology is the way to improved education. What I have seen is that more technology leads to no fundamental change in teaching.

The Top 5 Greatest Firefox Add-Ons
Tristan Nitot
Firefox and Chrome are of the two most popular web browsers out right now. They both have great features, but the biggest, most popular thing about them are the add-ons. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is, in and of itself, a good browser; but Firefox has add-ons, and that’s what keeps me coming back. My favorite add-ons give Fi [...]
